00:00:00It's so awful.
00:00:04I feel it just can't be happening to us.
00:00:08I remember Daddy saying what a horrendous lot of murders there actually are,
00:00:11but he said not to worry because only a fraction of those murders happen to people like us.
00:00:16They're nearly all confined to the lower classes.
00:00:18And now, poor Mummy.
00:00:20You lead a decent life and try to set some sort of standard,
00:00:23and then an appalling thing like this has to happen.
00:00:25You must try to relax.
00:00:27Don't be absurd.
00:00:30There will be questions.
00:00:52To us.
00:00:53Let me answer them, okay?
00:00:55All right.
00:01:02Daddy?
00:01:05That would be Jennifer.
00:01:06Oh, thank goodness you aren't here.
00:01:13You'll stay as long as you want.
00:01:15Rod's coming from London.
00:01:17The police are here.
00:01:19They haven't been to...
00:01:20No, no, no, no, no.
00:01:21But they'll ask you questions, and they are rather blunt.
00:01:25This is my daughter, Jennifer, and her husband, Angus.
00:01:51Detective Chief Inspector Wexford.
00:01:53This is Inspector Burden.
00:01:58Was it, uh, burglary?
00:02:01There are signs of a break-in.
00:02:03Well, it wouldn't have been hard, the breaking in.
00:02:05What's missing?
00:02:07Well, some jewelry has been recovered.
00:02:10Recovered?
00:02:11Already?
00:02:11Yes, it was found in the garden.
00:02:13Pearls?
00:02:14Yes.
00:02:15And a gold bracelet?
00:02:16Yeah.
00:02:17That was my grandmother's.
00:02:19I can remember my mother's earrings.
00:02:21She always thought it was dreadfully vulgar to have pierced ears.
00:02:25Yeah, he must have panicked, thrown them away.
00:02:28Well, that is one interpretation, sir.
00:02:31I wonder if you'd be kind enough to make a list of all your mother's jewelry.
00:02:35Yes, of course.
00:02:36Just in case any of it is missing.
00:02:37Could you tell me where you were last night, Mr. Norris?
00:03:03What sort of time have you in mind?
00:03:06You really ought to sit down at.
00:03:07Last night.
00:03:09But what does night mean?
00:03:11What time did all this take place?
00:03:14Shall we just say last night for the present, sir?
00:03:17I ask because it so happens that I took my wife out for a while during the evening.
00:03:21You took me out?
00:03:24What he means is that we went for a walk down to the river and back and had a drink at the miller's arms.
00:03:29The usual extent of our whining and dining these days.
00:03:31Yes, well, Chief Inspector, we went to bed early.
00:03:35The doctor gave me a mild sedative.
00:03:37I sleep like a log.
00:03:38And lately we've been taking the phone off the hook.
00:03:41So if poor mummy had tried to get through...
00:03:43Dad, I can't stop crying.
00:03:57Dad, I can't stop crying.
00:04:06Yes, sir.
00:04:16This is my son Rod.
00:04:18Chief Inspector Wexford and Inspector...
00:04:20Pardon.
00:04:21Yes, I'm sorry.
00:04:22hello sis I don't know what use I can be here but if there's anything I can do
00:04:33just routine sir yes where were you last night well for most of it um and my
00:04:39wife and the au pair my youngest kid was ill mumps actually poor little scrap
00:04:48you can phone Julian in Washington now I sent column a fax to anchor a smart
00:04:55little bastard what sort of time do you have in mind but she put him down
00:05:01it's here apparently death took place between 2 and 4 a.m. it'll be tomorrow
00:05:07before they know the type of gun what did you make a night well I've never seen
00:05:12anyone turn that white before fixed himself up with a wonderful alibi didn't
00:05:16me hardly ever spends a night away from home but when he does his wife is
00:05:21murdered
00:05:23what about going for a meal what do you saw of them in China their marriage was it um
00:05:30well marriage it's a funny old carry-on isn't it hard to say
00:05:38I wish I'd taken more notice of the nightings in China I think it would have
00:05:43been profitable all I could remember about night was him looking as if he'd seen a ghost
00:05:51he left home at three o'clock on Tuesday afternoon he called for a car to take him to
00:05:57Kings Markham when he caught the C27 he has a car of his own but um his wife had borrowed it and if she'd run him to Kings Markham it would have delayed her
00:06:08night arrived in Victoria at 4 15 he took a tube to Lancaster gate and walked around to his friends
00:06:15Dobson Flint had come home earlier so as to let him in now there's dinner at the
00:06:20Alimsass Club from 7 to 7 30 at 10 to 7 they took a cab from Hyde Park Square
00:06:27and after having a dinner and socializing they left at 11 30 they walked home and they were in bed by half past midnight
00:06:36next morning they were both up by eight Dobson Flint uh left in after nine
00:06:42right and caught the 9 40 from Victoria
00:06:46it's all so precise isn't it
00:06:50do you suspect him?
00:06:53I don't know who else to suspect
00:06:56there's a Mr Angus Norris on the phone for Mr Wexford can you take it I can't find him
00:07:07yes put him through
00:07:08hello
00:07:09er Mr Norris this is Inspector Burden Mr Wexford's out at the moment
00:07:13can you come and see me?
00:07:15when?
00:07:17right away
00:07:18I thought I ought to tell you about Adler's will
00:07:21I will?
00:07:23she had a substantial sum of money
00:07:26800,000 to be divided equally between the four children
00:07:30did her children know?
00:07:32oh yes
00:07:33200,000 each
00:07:35I didn't want to discuss it on the phone you understand
00:07:40why?
00:07:42why?
00:07:43are you telling me this?
00:07:44I should have thought it was obvious her will
00:07:47you mean one of her children might have killed her?
00:07:50don't be absurd
00:07:52oh
00:07:53where have you been?
00:07:58when you were out
00:07:59Angus Norris rang
00:08:00I went to see him
00:08:01she left a will
00:08:03800,000 between the four children
00:08:06what came over him so suddenly?
00:08:08that's what I thought
00:08:09I pushed him a bit
00:08:10and?
00:08:11he got a bit tight
00:08:12when I suggested one of the children might have done it
00:08:14well one of the sons is in Washington
00:08:16the other in Ankara
00:08:18the third has a solid alibi
00:08:21his wife
00:08:22the au pair
00:08:23and his child is ill
00:08:24and I jib a bit at the idea of a woman seven months pregnant
00:08:27killing her own mother
00:08:32what about him?
00:08:33oh what's his motive?
00:08:34the 200,000 his wife will inherit
00:08:36which he told you about
00:08:37he's a shifty little bastard
00:08:39well he's an assistant solicitor
00:08:41well he's obviously no fool
00:08:42he'll be a partner one day
00:08:44and they live in Spring Hill Lane
00:08:46well that's hardly amelior for people without money
00:08:48so we're back to burglars
00:08:50yeah
00:08:51now come on
00:08:52we're gonna be late
00:09:03I knew Adler when she was a girl
00:09:06clever girl
00:09:07we all met at university
00:09:10I must say
00:09:11this is the most appalling thing I've ever heard
00:09:15Mr. Knighton said you were an old and trusted fan sir
00:09:18well I'll go and see him as soon as I can
00:09:20but I got involved in a rather complex trial
00:09:22we'd like to ask you some questions
00:09:24about Tuesday night
00:09:25the latter part
00:09:26the club
00:09:27and after dinner
00:09:29it was a fine clear night
00:09:31and we resolved not to take a cab
00:09:34we walked it
00:09:35arrived on my doorstep
00:09:37at precisely two minutes to midnight
00:09:41and 28 minutes
00:09:43well 28 minutes
00:09:45from St. James to Bayswater Road
00:09:47the road's not bad for two men
00:09:48they're no longer in their first or even second youth
00:09:54Mr. Knighton and I
00:09:55took a whiskey
00:09:56and repaired to our beds
00:09:59at approximately 20 past 12
00:10:027.45 I got up
00:10:03had a bath
00:10:04girded my loins
00:10:05and was about to enter Mr. Knighton's room
00:10:07with a cup of china tea
00:10:09when he appeared fully dressed
00:10:11dressed?
00:10:12he always was an early riser
00:10:14I should like to see the flat sir
00:10:16is this really necessary?
00:10:18with you sir
00:10:19I don't have much time
00:10:20we'll have a car downstairs
00:10:21you won't be much inconvenienced
00:10:25is this the room that Mr. Knighton used?
00:10:28yes this is the guest bedroom
00:10:29are you a heavy sleeper sir?
00:10:31well as you can hear I seem to sleep through the worst traffic in London
00:10:33so I should say yes I am
00:10:35as I was coming in
00:10:36I noticed that
00:10:37you could go
00:10:38in and out the back way
00:10:39I never use it
00:10:44were Mr. and Mrs. Knighton a happy couple?
00:10:46absolutely devoted
00:10:48they simply adored each other
00:10:50they lived for each other
00:10:52I can't imagine either of them
00:10:53having eyes for anyone else
00:10:55we'll run you back
00:11:01I'll get a taxi
00:11:02they know the back way to the Bailey
00:11:03quicker
00:11:08old Bailey please
00:11:16he laid it on didn't he?
00:11:18about their mutual devotion
00:11:19didn't like the question at all
00:11:21I can't imagine them having eyes
00:11:23for anybody but each other
00:11:25it's not the sort of phrase
00:11:26that springs to mind
00:11:27when discussing
00:11:28the domestic happiness
00:11:29of two people over sixty
00:11:30why do you think he said it?
00:11:31you know Mike
00:11:32I've got a funny feeling
00:11:33that something may be happening
00:11:34in this case
00:11:35which uh
00:11:36ought to be happening
00:11:37to people
00:11:38thirty years younger
00:11:39than the Knighton sir
00:11:40do you mean a crime of passion?
00:11:41a less likely candidate
00:11:43for passion than Mrs. Knighton
00:11:44I've yet to see
00:11:46but that uh
00:11:47pompous ass feels it?
00:11:49maybe
00:11:50yes I think he does
00:11:51yes I think he does
00:11:52he suspects his best friend?
00:11:53he's a barrister
00:11:54he lives on possibilities
00:11:55and Knighton
00:11:56could have done it
00:11:57would have driven down to Hampshire
00:11:58during the night
00:11:59killed her
00:12:00and been back here
00:12:01before Dobson Flint
00:12:02was fiddling about
00:12:03with his lap sans choux song
00:12:06there's no train
00:12:07between the 12.55
00:12:08and the 6.30
00:12:09well a train's no good to him
00:12:11now he'd uh
00:12:12how would he get from
00:12:13Kings Markham to Sawing Green
00:12:14no car
00:12:15his car was in the garage
00:12:16at Fatow Wharf
00:12:17well what was he doing
00:12:19between arriving at Victoria
00:12:22at 4.15
00:12:24and getting here to Hyde Park Square
00:12:26at 10 past 5
00:12:28that's 55 minutes
00:12:30to get from Victoria to Lancaster Gate
00:12:32but there was something he could have been doing
00:12:36renting a car
00:12:37all he had to do is to book himself a car by phone
00:12:40collect it when he arrived at Victoria Station
00:12:42drive it up here in Hyde Park Square
00:12:45park it on a meter
00:12:46the meters are finished by 6.30
00:12:47and it's there for the night
00:12:48and uh
00:12:49after Dobson Flint has gone to bed
00:12:51he leaves the house
00:12:52taking the key from the pew to plate
00:12:55picks up the car
00:12:56and drives to Sowingbury
00:12:57that'd take an hour
00:12:58at that time of night
00:12:59no traffic
00:13:00he cuts out the pane of glass
00:13:01lets himself in through the front door
00:13:03wakes Mrs. Knighton
00:13:04by breaking the vase
00:13:05that draws her downstairs
00:13:06he kills her
00:13:08runs upstairs
00:13:09gets the jewels and the case
00:13:10and as he's going out
00:13:12he discards the jewelry
00:13:13and the case
00:13:14to make it look as if the burglar panicked
00:13:16then he walks back down the road
00:13:17to where he's parked the car
00:13:18drives back up here
00:13:20and it's still only 3.30
00:13:22he's taking a hell of a risk
00:13:24why?
00:13:25well
00:13:26suppose Dobson Flint had gone into his room
00:13:29never
00:13:30can you imagine it?

00:14:35no there isn't much
00:14:37we just threw a few things into a couple of cases
00:14:39and rushed to the airport
00:14:44it's a long time since we were all together
00:14:46you look tired
00:14:58oh Jennifer
00:15:02what's this?

00:15:16sorry to disturb you
00:15:19Julian and Barbara have just arrived from the airport
00:15:22please
00:15:23be as brief as possible
00:15:24my father's very frail at the moment
00:15:26I quite understand
00:15:31Julian shall we go into the sitting room?
00:15:33yes of course
00:15:34is we?
00:15:35yeah
00:15:36I'm so sorry to disturb you again sir
00:15:37will you have your work to do?
00:15:39we'd like to look around the house again if a night
00:15:42do you want anyone with you?
00:15:44oh no no no we'll find our own way
00:15:45good
00:15:46Inspector do you think it's possible that this man expected to find a safe?
00:15:52I beg your pardon?
00:15:53well there was in fact a safe in this house at one time
00:15:56it's why we were still using the house as a weekend retreat
00:15:58on Sunday nights before we left to go back to Hampstead
00:16:00I used to put our few valuables in the safe
00:16:03but when the break-ins became so frequent in Sowingbury
00:16:06you had it taken out didn't you?
00:16:08well it did rather seem to advertise the fact that one had rather special things to protect
00:16:12he could have been looking for the safe
00:16:15inspector is it possible that my wife was shot by accident?
00:16:19that this man threatened her with a gun if she refused to say where the safe was
00:16:22and she said there was no safe and the gun went off by accident
00:16:25I'm sorry sir
00:16:27your wife was shot from behind quite deliberately
00:16:32I think that's enough don't you?
00:16:34come on Dad
00:16:35she was looking at photographs of China
00:16:54are there any more?
00:16:58in the drawer?

00:18:22fool
00:18:23um

00:18:33wow
00:18:40bye
00:18:41okay
00:18:42follow me
00:18:43bye
00:18:45bye
00:18:46bye
00:18:47Let's go.
00:19:0836 days I've been in trains, shepherding this lot
00:19:11and a dozen more across Europe and Asia.
00:19:13Nearly lost one, uncoupled her carriage, she got left, she jumped on track.
00:19:20Which way was she?
00:19:22The one with a cigarette holder.
00:19:43Excuse me. I'm Detective Inspector Burden, King's Markham CID.
00:19:57Where's that?
00:19:59On Tuesday did you hire a car to a Mr. Adam Knighton?
00:20:0428th.
00:20:13No.
00:20:15Any other day recently? Knighton?
00:20:24No.
00:20:26No Knighton.
00:20:27He was 65, silver-haired, a good-looking man.
00:20:31I would have remembered him.
00:20:33Are you sure?
00:20:35I like older men.
00:20:43Miss Bell, isn't it? Detective Chief Inspector Waxford.
00:21:01You didn't tell any of us you were a policeman in China?
00:21:04No.
00:21:05Oh, very odd.
00:21:07That must have come as quite a shock to Adam on top of everything else.
00:21:11Could we have a talk?
00:21:13What now?
00:21:14Well, I'm not going back to the house.
00:21:16People don't mean to be irreverent but somehow they forget what they're doing there.
00:21:19You know, if someone starts laughing before you know where you are, it's a party.
00:21:23Do you think a cup of tea would be irreverent?
00:21:25I could do with a good hard cup of tea.
00:21:28You said you were company for Mrs. Knighton.
00:21:30Wasn't her husband company enough for it?
00:21:34Was it a happy marriage, Miss Bell?
00:21:36Did someone once say the state of marriage is unhappy only insofar as life itself is unhappy?
00:21:44Samuel Johnson.
00:21:45Of course.
00:21:47What do you say?
00:21:49In general, I don't think much of it, Mr. Wexford.
00:21:52It goes on too long.
00:21:54If it could be for, say, five years, it would be an excellent institution.
00:21:58But who can stand the same person morning, noon, and night for 40 years?
00:22:03You think Adam killed Adela, don't you?
00:22:07Nearly all murders are domestic.
00:22:10Adam wouldn't point a gun at anyone, let alone fire it.
00:22:14I once saw him get stung by a wasp trying to put it out of the window just because he wouldn't kill it.
00:22:19He didn't love Adela, but he certainly didn't hate her enough to kill her.
00:22:25Enough?
00:22:27I didn't mean that! I didn't mean that!
00:22:39This isn't real.
00:22:40Replica.
00:22:42My God, it looks real.
00:22:44It does, doesn't it?
00:22:46Took it up a young tower away. Threatened the nightclub owner with it.
00:22:50It's the same gun?
00:22:51It's the one that killed Mrs. Knighton.
00:22:55Lethal little beast, isn't it?
00:22:58Oh, Reg!
00:23:00How was the funeral?
00:23:02Oh, it was useful.
00:23:06Beats me why people who aren't religious have funerals.
00:23:09Boring, awkward, embarrassing affairs with no grace or beauty about them,
00:23:13especially now the old prayer book's more or less gone.
00:23:16Well, you have to have a funeral, don't you?
00:23:18If you mean by law, certainly not.
00:23:21You can always get your undertaker to do a quiet little disposal job when the crematorium's not busy.
00:23:26He was sitting in the bar, drinking cassio wine.
00:23:30And then he suddenly saw something that utterly astonished him.
00:23:37The girl.
00:23:38What girl?
00:23:40It was a beautiful girl.
00:23:43No, it wasn't a girl.
00:23:46And why the poetry?
00:23:49You've lost me, Reg.
00:23:50He started reciting Chinese poetry.
00:23:52Why don't you ask Knighton?
00:23:55I will.
00:24:00Kese.
00:24:17Angela.
00:24:30that look I know that look
00:24:41you um hear about villains being sent down by a judge
00:24:50and swearing to get back at him later
00:24:52oh
00:24:53did strike me it might be something like that
00:24:56that wasn't a judge
00:24:58no but someone convicted of a crime in a case where he was prosecuting
00:25:01so mrs. Norton was shot
00:25:04to get revenge on her husband
00:25:07some men's lives wouldn't be worth living without their wives
00:25:11shoot not the wild geese from the south
00:25:15let them northward fly
00:25:18when you shoot them
00:25:21shoot the pair of them together
00:25:23so that they are not put to sunder
00:25:28Chinese poem
00:25:30Tangdenest in 9th century
00:25:34we keep coming back to China
00:25:36the key to all this was
00:25:40in China
00:25:41you can't very well go back there
00:25:43no
00:25:43but I can visit all the people
00:25:47with whom Adela Knighton
00:25:49travelled across Asia
00:25:50now
00:25:58and
00:26:04and
00:26:08I
00:26:08know
00:26:08Good morning. Can I help you? Detective Chief Inspector Waxford, Kingsborough CID.
00:26:24Oh do come in. I'd like to see Mr. Vinald. Mr. Vinald isn't... I'm afraid he's at a sale.
00:26:33Oh when will he be back? Not until this afternoon. Would it help to see Mrs. Vinald?
00:26:38Mrs. Vinald? Well I know she's in. Oh. She called just a couple of minutes ago.
00:26:43I didn't know there was a Mrs. Vinald. No. There is? Well they were only married recently.
00:26:50Shall I give her a ring? Oh yes, yes please.
00:26:56Their house is just round the corner. It's in Seoul Villas.
00:27:00Now you go round the corner right then right again and it has a beige front door.
00:27:08Hello. I'm Pandora Vinald.
00:27:13I saw you in China. China? You were in China. I'm sorry. I don't know.
00:27:19You wouldn't. Were you with Gordon?
00:27:21No, not with him. I usually have such a good memory for faces. Where was it?
00:27:25In Hong Kong. The hotel bar. You were with an older woman.
00:27:29Oh my mother. You went out on the balcony.
00:27:31That's right. We did. I'm so sorry Mr. Wexford. There were just so many people and...
00:27:37Australia? New Zealand, Auckland. Oh look, they're standing here on the doorstep. Please come.
00:27:42Thank you. Did you travel in the train across Asia?
00:27:49No. I flew to China for a conference and then I took some leave.
00:27:52And we met up with the train party in Hong Kong. Well that's where I met Gordon.
00:27:57I was doing a kind of world tour. You know, Auckland to Jakarta. Jakarta to Singapore.
00:28:02Singapore to Beijing. It was going to be Bombay after Hong Kong.
00:28:06But after I met Gordon, well, London suddenly seemed that much more attractive.
00:28:10Have you seen any of the people on the train since you got back?
00:28:13No, we haven't. Oh, please sit down.
00:28:17Gordon says holiday friendships are a dead loss. They never lead to anything.
00:28:21Well, we did have a photo sent to us by Mrs. Knox. It wasn't very good.
00:28:26Gordon said not to answer it because it would only encourage her.
00:28:28Well, I didn't think that was very kind, so I wrote back, thanked her, said it was very nice,
00:28:32so it wasn't, and mentioned we were getting married.
00:28:36Do you still have her address?
00:28:37I've got all their addresses as a matter of fact. Gordon got a list.
00:28:41Would that be of use to you?
00:28:42Oh, very much so.
00:28:45What is this about?
00:28:46Do you remember Mrs. Knighton?
00:28:49She's on the list.
00:28:50Yes, small, 60ish, gray-haired.
00:28:54Her husband's a barrister.
00:28:55Oh, who read poetry.
00:28:57Yes, I remember him. Silver-haired. Good-looking man.
00:29:00I remember him, but not her.
00:29:03Mrs. Knighton's been murdered.
00:29:06Oh, how awful.
00:29:08Terrible.
00:29:10That's why I'm trying to trace the people from the train party.
00:29:12Oh, but surely you don't suspect...
00:29:14Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:29:16It's just that I'd like to know more about the Knightons.
00:29:18Oh, how dreadful.
00:29:20That's why I'd like to talk to your husband.
00:29:22Yes, yes, of course. Did you have a number?
00:29:23Oh, yes.
00:29:26And he can call me at home anytime.
00:29:28No, no, no.
00:29:30List, list, now, where was he?
00:29:34Ah!
00:29:36I know where he is!
00:29:38Ah!
00:29:38Ah!
00:29:40Ah!

00:30:01No.
00:30:02Police.
00:30:03So?
00:30:04You're Jack Hovind?
00:30:05So?
00:30:06So?
00:30:07So why lie?
00:30:08You'll get used to it round here.
00:30:10What do you want?
00:30:11I'd like to come in.
00:30:15I'd like to come in.
00:30:16I'd like to come in.
00:30:35Make yourself comfortable.
00:30:36What are you doing at home?
00:30:38What are you doing at home?
00:30:40Sick.
00:30:41And where do you work?
00:30:43I'm between jobs.
00:30:45What were you doing Tuesday evening, Wednesday morning?
00:30:49I'll get a job.
00:30:50I don't need none of this.
00:30:51I'm not at it anymore.
00:30:52I don't need none of this.
00:30:53I'm not at it anymore.
00:30:54Where were you?
00:30:55Nowhere.
00:30:57Here.
00:30:59Here.
00:31:00Witness?
00:31:01Someone's been putting the poison in.
00:31:04Who?
00:31:06Oh!
00:31:07I'll have his eyes!
00:31:10What's this about?
00:31:12Murder.
00:31:13I'm a thief.
00:31:20I've never done anyone violence.
00:31:23Check my record.
00:31:24You threatened a silk.
00:31:25What?
00:31:26Threatened him in court.
00:31:28Him?
00:31:31Has nothing.
00:31:32Mouth.
00:31:33Just mouth.
00:31:34What was it you were going to do to him and his family?
00:31:36No one took me seriously.
00:31:37His wife has been shot.
00:31:40His wife?
00:31:41Why his wife?
00:31:42I...
00:31:43I...
00:31:44I thought you meant...
00:31:46Why kill his wife?
00:31:47It doesn't make sense.
00:31:50It's six years.
00:31:52I couldn't even remember the man's name.
00:31:54Knighton.
00:31:55Adam Knighton.
00:31:57Anyone who kills a woman's a nonce in my book.
00:32:01I was here.
00:32:03I can't prove it, but that's it.
00:32:05I was here.
00:32:07I wouldn't kill no one.
00:32:09No more a woman.
00:32:12Or my life.
00:32:26Yes?
00:32:27Mrs Fanny?
00:32:28Yes.
00:32:29Is Mr Fanny home?
00:32:30No.
00:32:31Well, where could I find him?
00:32:32I've no idea.
00:32:33Will he be home this evening?
00:32:35No.
00:32:37I need to talk to him.
00:32:39Police.
00:32:41He's with a party around the Aegean.
00:32:44What's he been up to?
00:32:47When will he be back?
00:32:49End of the month.
00:32:51Too soon for me.
00:32:52You and the council.
00:32:54I've paid my fees.
00:32:55I keep telling them.
00:32:56Give them the number of the cheque.
00:32:57Police.
00:32:58Now hold it, hold it, hold it.
00:33:00What's all this then?
00:33:01I haven't done nothing.
00:33:02Do you remember a Mr Adam Knighton?
00:33:03That's what got me five years.
00:33:04And he was defending me.
00:33:05Should have been two.
00:33:06Where were you Tuesday night?
00:33:07Why?
00:33:08Down the Battle.
00:33:09Battle?
00:33:10Battlecruiser.
00:33:11Boozer.
00:33:12Which one?
00:33:13Peer Lake.
00:33:14You can check.
00:33:15And later?
00:33:16No.
00:33:17No.
00:33:18No.
00:33:19No.
00:33:20No.
00:33:21No.
00:33:22No.
00:33:23No.
00:33:24No.
00:33:25No.
00:33:26No.
00:33:27No.
00:33:28No.
00:33:29No.
00:33:30No.
00:33:31No.
00:33:32No.
00:33:33No.
00:33:34No.
00:33:36No.
00:33:37No.
00:33:38No.
00:33:39What is this?
00:33:40Early Wednesday morning.
00:33:41In me feather.
00:33:43Feather.
00:33:44Feather bed.
00:33:45Ask the wife.
00:33:46I'd had a belly full of beer.
00:33:48Kept getting up and going to the toilet.
00:33:50Here we are.
00:33:52A cup of our favorite poison.
00:33:56It takes a true born Englishman to fancy a cup of tea at one pip ever.
00:34:02I'm sorry about the other day.
00:34:04I was upset.
00:34:06I didn't mean what I said about Adam and Adela.
00:34:14Milk?
00:34:15Yes please.
00:34:16Sugar?
00:34:17No thank you.
00:34:18It's not what I meant to say.
00:34:19They had to get married you know.
00:34:20I beg your pardon.
00:34:21Oh.
00:34:22I'm doing it again.
00:34:23I fell in love with Adam the first moment she saw him at university.
00:34:25He was beautiful.
00:34:26I heard men of my generation say they suffered terribly from sexual repression when they were
00:34:32young.
00:34:33Far cry from today.
00:34:34Anyway.
00:34:35Adela became pregnant and there were no two ways about it.
00:34:40Adam had to marry her.
00:34:41But he was in love with someone else.
00:34:55Who?
00:34:56Well not me.
00:34:57No don't ask.
00:35:02And in September Julian was born.
00:35:03And then there was Rod and later on the other two.
00:35:09I used to see quite a bit of them.
00:35:11He was always out.
00:35:13working he said.
00:35:14Or straying.
00:35:24They moved to Fitz Johns Avenue.
00:35:29And Adam started taking Adela out a lot.
00:35:36I think she threatened to leave him and take the children with her he was
00:35:41devoted to his children. I think she had Jennifer and Colm to keep a hold on him.
00:35:47well after that they were quite the model couple except they never had a
00:35:53word to say to each other. all the old Adam had gone out of Adam that's for
00:36:01sure. well there's a limit to how much you can put up with a man who doesn't
00:36:07have two words to say to you for hours on end. she had to take me on holiday with
00:36:13her. I couldn't afford it. more tea? no thank you.
00:36:21would you wonder I don't think much of marriage mr. Wexford when that's the
00:36:25marriage I saw at close quarters.
00:36:31police sir. my turn is it? excuse me? I heard you're in the neighborhood. are you mr.
00:37:00Burnett? yes? do you mind if I asked you a few questions? it's a murder isn't it?
00:37:05where were you last Tuesday late? how late? one o'clock. Wednesday. yes Wednesday.
00:37:12were you up? I was. indoors? yes. did you see anyone about in the street? it was very
00:37:18quiet. it usually is at that time. the only time it is. the odd taxi. ah you saw a
00:37:23taxi. no. no I was just explaining. I must say I had you down for a teacher. a teacher? no. I'm afraid I've got some sargays for you.
00:37:37Mrs. Knighton has died. oh no. what did she die of? she was murdered. I'm going down the list of
00:37:47all the people who traveled across Asia with her. do you think that you could
00:37:51give me your impression of the Knighton's? uh well I didn't have any impression. they
00:37:58were just well quite nice ordinary people. and Miss Bell? a little eccentric and
00:38:07lonely. gossip. I really didn't notice anything out of the ordinary about the
00:38:14Knighton's Mr. Wexford. I wonder if you could tell me something else. in Hong Kong
00:38:18when we were in the hotel bar Mr. Knighton saw something that astonished him and he
00:38:24started to recite poetry. yes his wife was embarrassed. what was it? all the men were
00:38:32looking at her. the girl. don't you remember? you must remember. she was exquisite.
00:38:39she's Mrs. Vinald now. well I never. you'll never guess what's happened. what? there's been a murder.
00:38:46here? a woman in the country. a woman who was in China with us. with Gordon. oh and the
00:38:53policeman who was here this morning. he was in China too. sounds like Agatha Christie.
00:38:57she was a wife of a barrister. good-looking man.
00:39:02can I have a drink? are you all right? what are we doing tonight? are we going to
00:39:13the theatre? I've told you I I remember very little about it. my memory has been
00:39:23affected by all this. and the poetry? I was very moved. go on. by a beauty. beauty that
00:39:40matched the beauty of China. in the views. have you ever seen anything like it? be
00:39:50willing to search for poetry. and there will be poetry.
00:40:12don't tell me. police.
00:40:15pardon? inspector? you're Perry. I always tell an inspector. not a front. ambitious.
00:40:23suppose you want to come in?
00:40:32been on your heels a bit have you?
00:40:37a cup of tea? no thank you.
00:40:41all right. let's have you. what do you want?
00:40:45a mr. adam knighton was your... he saved my life.
00:40:50yes you coshed and killed a night watchman didn't you?
00:40:56i was acquitted. and you know that. i'd lay down my life for mr knighton.
00:41:03do you know anyone who hates him enough to kill his wife?
00:41:06i was very grieved to hear of his great loss. and him such a devoted husband.
00:41:15anybody prosecuted?
00:41:18looks bad for him does it?
00:41:21what makes you say that?
00:41:22you. chasing old cons.
00:41:27they were either too old, too fat, or too convincing.
00:41:31let's have a look at notice bank again and see if any large sums have gone out since he came back from China.
00:41:35yes one of mine said why don't you find out who that bastard knighton paid to do it.
00:41:40marriage.
00:41:42desperate thing.
00:41:43the frogs in aesop were extreme wise.
00:41:46they wanted water but they didn't want to jump into the well in case they couldn't get out again.
00:41:49he hates himself.
00:41:54knighton.
00:41:55for something.
00:41:56where'd your parents go on their previous holidays?
00:41:59do you mean since daddy retired?
00:42:01well go back five years.
00:42:04mummy had what she called her holiday fund.
00:42:06it was her way of making the best out of her own money.
00:42:09she wanted real travel so so angus invested it for her and she drew on it whenever she wanted to go anywhere.
00:42:14like china.
00:42:17mummy adored travel.
00:42:19thailand. java. mexico. brazil.
00:42:22did she ever go to new zealand?
00:42:24might as well go to bognor.
00:42:26no.
00:42:27she wanted to go to india and nepal next.
00:42:30in august.
00:42:31poor mummy.

00:43:02no he does have modern weaponry.
00:43:05but no walter bbk?
00:43:06no.
00:43:08it was the first one they checked.
00:43:09it was not a happy marriage.
00:43:18under the circumstances we took it for granted that you would say that it had been.
00:43:23in a murder inquiry you should never take anything for granted inspector.
00:43:33my wife felt towards me the way many women feel towards their husbands.
00:43:38i was her possession.
00:43:41she had a right to my continued presence in her life.
00:43:47i don't suppose she ever thought of whether she cared for me or not.
00:43:53i disliked her as the years went by.

00:47:57Police again?
00:47:59What can I do for you?
00:48:06I've got a friend.
00:48:08He said the police were hanging around HPS.
00:48:11HPS?
00:48:13Hard Park Square.
00:48:15Oh, I see.
00:48:17You live there? Your parents live there?
00:48:20How old do you think I am?
00:48:2315?
00:48:25Well, your voice...
00:48:27I'm 24.
00:48:29I'm a whore.
00:48:31This friend of mine in Stanek Place, he's one of my gentlemen.
00:48:35Gave me a bias about 8 that Tuesday.
00:48:38Said would I come and see him at midnight?
00:48:40Half 12 would be better.
00:48:42He got people for dinner and by 12.30 they were sure all to have gone.
00:48:46Where exactly does this gentleman friend live?
00:48:50One of the houses facing the back of the square.
00:48:53I had another client at 11, St John's Wood.
00:48:56I left there around 12.20, 12.24.
00:49:01When I took a cab it got me back to Stanek Place going on one.
00:49:05So were you sure of the time?
00:49:07My watch is my life.
00:49:09It's about quarter to one.
00:49:11I was paying off the driver when this old fella came out the back of the house.
00:49:16Ground floor flat.
00:49:18He came across the road and took my taxi.
00:49:21Did you hear where he told the driver to go?
00:49:23I wasn't interested.
00:49:25Why should I?
00:49:29Would you mind describing him for me please?
00:49:33Tallish.
00:49:35Gray hair.
00:49:36Can you pick him up with this group?
00:49:44Him.
00:49:45That's him.
00:49:47He was...
00:49:49nice.
00:49:52Nice looking.
00:49:55Positive.
00:49:56What was he doing?
00:49:57What was he doing?
00:49:58Taking a taxi at 20 to 1 in the morning
00:50:00when he says he was in bed asleep.
00:50:02He's coming back to Hampshire.
00:50:03The old man did see him.
00:50:05The times fit.
00:50:08What pushed him to do it?
00:50:10Someone once said that every married man has a motive for murder.
00:50:26What is he doing?
00:50:27Even though he flew into shoes.
00:50:28Why is he flying in bed?
00:50:37Muse.
00:50:40Where is he where he died?
00:50:42Maybe not left.
00:50:48I me neitheram he
00:52:24Who is Mrs. M. Ingram?
00:52:4229 Thane Court, Cadogan Avenue, London SW1.
00:52:51Poor devil.
00:52:54You killed her then.
00:52:56No, I didn't mean that.
00:52:58I think his predicament was a moral one.
00:53:03It was his conscience he couldn't escape from.
00:53:07Where's Wexford?
00:53:18Wexford?
00:53:19You want me, sir?
00:53:20This is your doing, Wexford.
00:53:21You could see the man was ill.
00:53:23For God's sake, his wife had just been murdered.
00:53:27Was there a note, a suicide note?
00:53:31Anything of that sort?
00:53:32Something of that sort, sir.
00:53:33Well, what did it say?
00:53:34You did read it.
00:53:35You would, wouldn't you?
00:53:36There were two notes.
00:53:37One to the coroner.
00:53:39And the other?
00:53:41Where is your wife, sir?
00:53:42For God's sake, she is seven months pregnant.
00:53:45She's lost both of her parents in the space of a few weeks.
00:53:47Are you totally insensitive?
00:53:48I think you'd better calm down, sir.
00:53:50Who was the other letter for?
00:53:53Nobody in the family.
00:53:56I don't believe you.
00:53:58This is to inform you that on the morning of the 29th of April,
00:54:02I killed my wife, Adela Knighton,
00:54:05by shooting her with a Walter PPK automatic pistol.
00:54:10In consequence of this act, I shall, by the time you read this,
00:54:13have taken my own life.
00:54:15And he signed it.
00:54:18That's all.
00:54:19Shot.
00:54:21But he told the coroner everything he needed to know.
00:54:24I wonder where he got the gun.
00:54:27After that, I wonder what he did with it afterwards.
00:54:29I wonder about a lot of things.
00:54:32He wanted her dead.
00:54:33But wanting and doing are two different things.
00:54:35Come on, he must have killed her.
00:54:37Why admit to it if he hadn't?
00:54:38Well, I don't know.
00:54:39The man killed himself.
00:54:41Well, I wonder if Mrs. Ingram can tell us.
00:54:51When you rang, it rather alarmed me.
00:54:54I saw you in China.
00:54:56I was in China recently.
00:54:58With your daughter.
00:55:02How strange.
00:55:04Please come in.
00:55:05Of course.
00:55:06It's been haunting me ever since.
00:55:08Your face.
00:55:09Who you were.
00:55:10Milber Lang, the film star.
00:55:11A few years on.
00:55:12You didn't recognize me in China.
00:55:14Well, I kept looking at your daughter's face and thinking someone, someone...
00:55:15She's much more beautiful than I was.
00:55:16Some could argue that.
00:55:19Can I get you a drink?
00:55:20Please.
00:55:21Sit down.
00:55:22I believe you knew Adam Knight.
00:55:23I know him yes.
00:55:24I knew him.
00:55:25Yes.
00:55:26I knew him.
00:55:27I knew him.
00:55:28I knew him.
00:55:29I knew him.
00:55:30I knew him.
00:55:31I knew him.
00:55:32Yes.
00:55:33I knew him.
00:55:34And I knew him.
00:55:35I knew him.
00:55:36No, I knew him.
00:55:37I knew him.
00:55:38I knew him.
00:55:39I knew him.
00:55:40I knew him.
00:55:41But I knew him.
00:55:42knew Adam Knighton. I know him, yes.
00:55:46Is this about Adover? I'm afraid I have some bad news for you.
00:55:52He was found dead this morning.
00:55:57You mean he killed himself?
00:56:01I'm afraid so.
00:56:07Adam.
00:56:09He left you a letter.
00:56:14It was very kind of you to come personally to tell me.
00:56:17I'm sure that you would like to read your letter in private.
00:56:21But after that I'm afraid I do have to see it.
00:56:32Excuse me.
00:56:39She was the affair?
00:56:41Yes.
00:56:42She was the actress.
00:56:45All those years.
00:56:47He couldn't forget.
00:56:50Well how could he?
00:56:52It was very beautiful.
00:56:55She still is.
00:57:09I didn't cry when I read it but seeing you read it.
00:57:26Would you like to sit down?
00:57:30Could you pour me a brandy?
00:57:39Do you feel that you could talk about this?
00:57:45He didn't kill her.
00:57:46Whatever he said.
00:57:48He couldn't have killed her.
00:57:50Well could you talk about it because it would probably do you good.
00:58:01And it would be good for me.
00:58:12How did you first meet?
00:58:14It was at a dinner party.
00:58:23Adela was there.
00:58:27I'd just finished a film called The Snow Moth.
00:58:30He'd seen it.
00:58:33His eyes.
00:58:34His eyes.
00:58:36I shall always remember his eyes.
00:58:39And the way he talked.
00:58:41Slowly, softly.
00:58:44His stillness.
00:58:49He rang me the next morning.
00:58:51We saw as much of each other as we could.
00:58:56He still lived with Adela, slept beside her.
00:59:00I think I felt more guilty about it than he did.
00:59:07We were punished.
00:59:10The times we spent together, all of us rushed.
00:59:12Always a race against the clock.
00:59:16He had to get back to his work, to the court.
00:59:20To Adela, to his children.
00:59:24And I had...
00:59:26My career.
00:59:29I was the one who broke it off.
00:59:36I met...
00:59:38Rex Ingram.
00:59:41He wanted to marry me to...
00:59:43take me away to New Zealand.
00:59:48It seemed far enough away.
00:59:50We didn't...
00:59:55We didn't...
00:59:56We didn't write to each other, or see each other.
01:00:00For 25 years.
01:00:04Not until I walked into that...
01:00:07Hotel bar in Hong Kong.
01:00:11He must have found out my married name from the hotel register.
01:00:14When I got back to London, he telephoned me.
01:00:20It was just as it had been 25 years ago.
01:00:24There was I with my flat.
01:00:25There was Adam with his wife.
01:00:28We were ruled by the clock as we had been then.
01:00:31I tried to break it off.
01:00:36Just as I had before.
01:00:40I told him I was much too old for this sort of thing.
01:00:44That when the lease of this place was up, I'd...
01:00:47I'd go back to my home in Auckland.
01:00:48I didn't see him.
01:00:57For a little while.
01:01:02And then I read of...
01:01:03Adela's murder.
01:01:08He didn't kill her.
01:01:11In a letter to the coroner,
01:01:13he admitted everything.
01:01:14He had the motive and the opportunity.
01:01:16He was there.
01:01:19He was not there.
01:01:26He was here.
01:01:29With me.
01:01:41Did you believe her?
01:01:42Well, Knighton isn't the first man that would confess to a murder that he hadn't done.
01:01:46But why?
01:01:48Well, he didn't hold the gun or pull the trigger, but he knows who did.
01:01:52Not somebody paid.
01:01:54No, it wasn't a director, sir.
01:01:56And it wasn't revenge.
01:01:58What's left?
01:02:00The opposite.
01:02:02I don't follow you.
01:02:04Gratitude.
01:02:08Silver Perry.
01:02:09I'd lay down my life for Mr. Knighton.
01:02:11It was him the old man saw, not Knighton.
01:02:29Hello, Silver.
01:02:30Care for a lift?
01:02:32I knew you were trouble.
01:02:33No.
01:02:34You've got an alley, Bowie.
01:02:35Of course.
01:02:37I knew you were trouble.
01:02:47You've got an alley, Bowie.
01:02:48Of course.
01:02:49You were seen near Thatow Hall Farm.
01:02:56By the woods.
01:02:57Walking along the footpath to Selingbury from Thatow Vale.
01:03:01At about three in the morning.
01:03:07You must know the area well.
01:03:09Or he drew you home up.
01:03:10You were there that night, weren't you?
01:03:19Oh, he's dead.
01:03:20Nothing can harm him now.
01:03:24I knew what he wanted.
01:03:26And he knew that I knew.
01:03:28I said to him, you don't even have to say it.
01:03:31Just dial my number, and when I answer, you say a word.
01:03:34Any word.
01:03:36Then he...
01:03:37He's sadly telling me some story about a Chinese Mandarin.
01:03:42That's it, isn't it?
01:03:43That's the word.
01:03:45Mandarin.
01:03:47Whenever you say that word, I'll know.
01:03:50Yeah, well, one night it came.
01:03:52The call.
01:03:53The word.
01:03:55I knew he was going to London.
01:03:57How?
01:03:58Because he told me.
01:04:00And I knew what he meant.
01:04:02I owed him.
01:04:03A life?
01:04:05Yeah, for my life.
01:04:09I've had it on my mind all this time.
01:04:12Anyway, I was working till midnight, minicabbing.
01:04:15And I got onto this mate of mine.
01:04:17Never mind who, it doesn't matter, it's too late now.
01:04:20Anyway, I got onto this mate to say I'd been with him at a club
01:04:23in case there were any questions.
01:04:25Then I drove out there.
01:04:27Parked my car in the square.
01:04:29Yeah, you're right.
01:04:31Yeah, I know the area.
01:04:33I was evacuated there as a kid.
01:04:36Anyway, I went to the house by the footpath.
01:04:38Because it was dark and it was...
01:04:40I moved quickly, you know what I mean?
01:04:41And it didn't take long.
01:04:43I got to the house about...
01:04:45Yeah, about three.
01:04:47I could have had a pane of glass.
01:04:48That took ten minutes.
01:04:50I got in, took my shoes off,
01:04:52and went upstairs.
01:04:54All the bedroom doors were open,
01:04:55so I went into the big front one,
01:04:57thinking I'd find her there.
01:05:00It was...
01:05:01It was twin beds.
01:05:03And one of them had the bedclothes turned back.
01:05:06When I couldn't find her,
01:05:09I went downstairs again.
01:05:15Yeah, I found her.
01:05:18She was on the floor.
01:05:20She was shot dead.
01:05:22Yeah, well, I knew what it was.
01:05:25Mr. Knighton had got there before me.
01:05:28So I, er...
01:05:31I went back upstairs,
01:05:33and I took a jewellery box,
01:05:35and a few other bits and pieces.
01:05:37Make it look like a burglary.
01:05:41I didn't kill her.
01:05:44Ma'am, I'm in.
01:05:46What's that?
01:05:47Bizarre, isn't it?
01:05:49To kill with a single word.
01:05:51A word like a sword.
01:06:01What do we do now?
01:06:03Knighton didn't do it.
01:06:04Perry didn't.
01:06:05Who did?
01:06:07I'm lost.
01:06:08I'm lost.
01:06:10I'm lost.
01:06:14For God's sake, she is seven months pregnant.
01:06:17Totally insensitive.
01:06:18Who was the other letter for?
01:06:19You see the man was ill.
01:06:20For God's sake, his wife has just been murdered.
01:06:23Just been murdered.
01:06:32I hope I'm not disturbing you.
01:06:34No, not at all.
01:06:35How can I help you?
01:06:36I'd like to see the statements of accounts of Mr. Angus Norris, please.
01:06:40Mr. Norris.
01:06:42Yes.
01:06:43May I ask why?
01:06:44I'm afraid it's confidential.
01:06:46Take a look at these.
01:06:50I wondered where you were.
01:06:52I just had to check him out.
01:06:55Can't stand him, can you?
01:06:56Can you?
01:06:58I'm sorry, Mr. Norris.
01:07:00I have an appointment in ten minutes.
01:07:07This won't take long.
01:07:09What do you want?
01:07:10To see the accounts of Mrs. Knighton's travel fund.
01:07:13That could take some little time.
01:07:16Why?
01:07:17I don't have the accounting in this office.
01:07:19Just an approximation.
01:07:20Of the balance?
01:07:21I can have it for you by tomorrow morning.
01:07:24A few thousand?
01:07:25I can have it for you tomorrow morning.
01:07:27Mrs. Knighton was planning to go to Nepal in India.
01:07:30In the summer?
01:07:32It's the first I've heard of it.
01:07:34Your wife told us.
01:07:35Didn't she tell you?
01:07:37I have another appointment.
01:07:39She was going to go to India and Nepal.
01:07:43But there was no money, was there?
01:07:46If she'd found out.
01:07:52All right, you want to see the accounts?
01:07:55Yes.
01:08:09Mike!
01:08:11Don't be a bloody fool!
01:08:14Get out of my way.
01:08:19Get over there!
01:08:24Make no mistake, I will kill you.
01:08:37You need to be in the dark.
01:08:43With the back turned.
01:09:02Blood.
01:09:05Blood on my face.
01:09:10A bone of...
01:09:13Piece of bone.
01:09:14Piece of bone.
01:09:43Piece of bone.
01:09:49Came off.
01:10:04How did you know?
01:10:06I didn't know.
